Limp Bizkit is piece of shit compared to bands like
Megadeath, Children of Bodom, Dream Theater, to name a few. There are millions of shredders across the globe who play billions of times better than Limp Bizkit yet they can't get the fame they deserve while these fucking nu metal losers like Limp Bizkit feeding your ears this garbage whitenoise they call music and make millions on selling their retarded crapcore records. And all you guys who maintain this site about limp bizkit have no tste in music and you must be ashamed of yourselves. I feel sorry for you. -NuMetalIsForLosers
158:. This mainly is directed towards their style of vocals and rhythm patterns. Just because style A is derived from style B does not neccesarily mean all bands in Style B are also Style A. Example: Rock. Rock has it roots in many styles, such as Jazz and Blues to name a few, but all rock bands are not also jazz or blues bands, though there are bands that happen to be both. On a side note... Don't read too much into the word "Heavy" it's definitions are broad and vague, just being heavy and some form of metal does not make one

problem with even doing this in alphabetical order at this point (and may actually claim that the alphabetical argument is a way to further POV), so we may as well just kill the reason for the argument entirely for now and work on making Limp Bizkit the best article possible. That seems like a valid compromise to me. Like I said, Fred Durst has been quiet over the last few days, especially since I removed the genre, so there is precedent for this working. -
560:, and that seems to have cooled off the situation in that article. Ultimately we're debating labels here and trying to classify a band without a full consensus among our editors. This little fight has gotten in the way of useful information additions and we shouldn't let it. So, because of this, I say that as a stopgap solution we remove the genre entirely and leave any discussion of genre in talk until we reach a consensus among editors. Please discuss. -

614:. Neither of them seem to care nearly as much about improving the article as much as having their POV shine through. If my suggested end to this happens to coincide with Egr's POV so be it, if it fits in with LUCPOL's POV, so be it. I just don't like the idea of complete removing anything just because two users couldn't agree on the order of

much rapcore present at all. On their first album, Three Dollar Bill, the band also had a very different sound. So, while you may be correct to a point, the band has really diversified themselves over the years, and their later releases definitely fit more into nu metal than rapcore, especially using your definition. --
339:
Limp Bizkit (all songs, all albums) = rapcore (many songs) + nu metal (straggle). PS. Rapcore this is rap + "hardcore" (punk, rock or metal) however Nu metal is punk, rock or metal + elements hip hop (or fairly). Limp Bizkit is rapcore, but have nu metal songs. There is dissent rapcore: Limp Bizkit

Wouldn't removing the genres completely be a bit far? Removing the genres makes no sense as far as coming to a compromise, as the article is already protected, just work out the compromise before unprotection. Personally, I think we should just default to alphabetical for the listing in the infobox,

The edit war wasn't over as much the band's genre but the order in which the genres are listed.. Though the bands genre may be the core of the problem. From the computer I am at I don't have the resources to find RSs for the genre. If the band is both genres the listing should be alphabetical in my

Limp Bizkit is a very shitty band than can't play guitar. I think the page about limp bizkit should be deleted and the band members should try other careers rather than embarrassing themselves and the country they are from. It's because of bands like limp bizkit people think than heavy metal sucks.
569:
I personally don't even care what the genre is, or if one is even stated. I just thought it was absurd that some users (won't mention any names) seemed to be fixated on changing them to what was right in their opinion, even though their opinion was obviously the minority. Honestly, if it will make

I think you're not really looking at the broad scheme of things. It wasn't until

It doesnt seem silly to me. It might not be their primary style but surely it doesnt mean that its not one of their musical categories, and because they are rapcore or nu metal bears no evidence of them distancing themselves from heavy metal. I won't edit any further because too many people turn a

On March 7, 2003 Limp Bizkit would perform their first new material in two years live at WWE's

Also, has anyone heard the term Sports Metal, or perhaps Sportz Metal? because when they first came out I remember some interview with them or a news report or something saying they were being called this, absolutely ages ago and I can't find any reference to it. Maybe I dreamt it?
657:
Without getting into metal history geekery talking about Helmet, etc, this article clearly says that Korn were around before Limp Bizkit, making it pretty clear that while Limp Bizkit played a big role in widening the popularity of nu metal, they're far from having started it.
115:
I've added that one of Limp Bizkit's genres is Heavy Metal, please DON'T change it as they ARE considered a heavy metal band. I thought it would've been obvious to anyone whose heard their music that they are heavy, and have some elements of metal. Thanks.

618:. LUCPOL's claim seems to be that Limp Bizkit is more Rapcore than Nu-metal and egr claims the reverse. Unless either of the users has a way to back up their claims other than original research I see no reason to change anything. --
329:
Limp Bizkit is nu metal / rapcore. Have you even listened to any of their albums? Not all of their songs sound like 'Nookie' or 'Rollin'. If you don't have knowledge on a subject you really shouldn't be editing it on
Knowledge.
